From the Gentleman's Magazine for August, 1741. . . [7th
para.] An officer, my lords, and officer qualified to invade
Kingdoms, is not form'd by blustering in his quarters, by
drinking on birth-nights, or dancing at assemblies; nor even
by the more important services of regulating elections, and
suppressing those insurrections which are produced by the
decay of our manufactures. many gallant colonels have led
out their forces against women and children with the
exactest order, and scatter'd terror over numerous bodies of
colliers and weavers, who would find difficulties not very
easily surmountable, were they to force a pass, or storm a
fortress. . . [10 more paras.]
